'''''Tetris Attack''''' is a [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] and [[Game Boy]] puzzle game featuring the [[Yoshi (franchise)|''Yoshi'' franchise]] as a theme by altering graphics and audio of the Japanese game ''[[#Panel de Pon|Panel de Pon]]''. Despite its name, ''Tetris Attack'' has no relation to the ''[[harddrop:Tetris|Tetris]]'' series, and follow-ups were named ''Puzzle League'' in the west starting with ''[[bulbapedia:Pokémon Puzzle League|Pokémon Puzzle League]]''. The Japanese version of ''Tetris Attack'' was released on the [[Satellaview]] as a ''Yoshi'' title instead of using the ''Tetris'' name license. Like in ''Tetris Attack'', there was an option in the menus to play the game with the characters and story dialogue in English, but the menus would stay in Japanese. The Game Boy version was also released in Japan as a standard cartridge.


==Gameplay==
==Gameplay==
{{multiframe
The title of the game is misleading in that the gameplay is little like tetris. Instead, panels rise from the bottom (called the "stack") and the job of the player is to line up three or more matching panels either horizontally or vertically as the stack rises. Extra points are given for combonations of more than three. If the stack touches the top of the playing field, the game is over.

The title of the game is very misleading in that the gameplay has little to do with ''Tetris''. Instead, square [[panel]]s rise from the bottom (called the "stack") and the job of the player is to line up three or more matching panels either horizontally or vertically as the stack rises.  


The player controls the panels using a rectangular cursor on the screen which the player uses to switch the selected panels back and forth. Extra points are given for combinations of more than three. If the stack touches the top of the playing field while rising, the game is over.
<h3>One player mode</h3>
{{br|left}}
<h5>Endless</h5>
In this game your only opponent is yourself and as the title suggests, it can be endless, provided you're fast enough. This mode is great for practice and inproving your skills. When you begin the game you set a starting level and choose an ally; as you play the game gets harder by gradually increasing the speed at which the stack rises. The object is to play for as long as you can before the stack begins rising faster than you can play, because if it touches the top, your game is over. You recieve points while you play for clearing panels, you recieve more points for clearing more panels at once, using either combos, chains, or skill chains (see below).


==Single-player mode==
<h5>Stage Clear</h5>
===Endless===
This mode is just like the Endless mode (see above) except you are given a time limit and must clear all the panels above a "clear line" drawn in the stack. The line is not visible a the beginning of the game and is only visible when you have cleared enough panels for the stack to rise enough. If you do not clear all the panels before the time is up or if the stack touches the top, you loose.
[[File:TA LittleYoshi.png|thumb|left|[[Yoshi]] and [[Baby Yoshi|Little Yoshi]] in ''Tetris Attack''.]]
In Endless mode, players play to try to achieve the best possible score before they get a game over. Players can choose the difficulty level (Easy, Normal, Hard) and the speed level (lv. 1-99) to start out. However, the longer they manage to stay alive, the faster the stack will start to rise. If the player manages to reach a score of 99,999, the credits sequence will play.

===Time Trial===
<h5>Time Trial</h5>
The Time Trial mode is also similar to the Endless mode, except players are given a time limit of two minutes, and the objective is to score as many points as possible before time is up.  
The time trial mode is also simmialr to the Endless mode, except that you are given a time limit of two minutes and the object is to score as many points as possible before time is up.


===Stage Clear===
<h5>Puzzle</h5>
[[File:TA3.PNG|thumb|left|Yoshi vs. Bowser]]
<h5>VS</h5>
This mode is just like the Endless mode (see above), except players must clear all the panels above the "clear line" that is drawn in the stack. The line is not visible at the beginning of the game, and is only visible when players have cleared enough panels for the stack to rise enough. If the stack touches the top before all the panels above the "clear line" are removed, the players will lose. There is no time limit in this game mode.


There is a total of 30 rounds (not counting the "special stage" and "last stage"), with five rounds per level.
<h3>Two player VS mode</h3>
 
<h5>Time Trial</h5>
The "special stage" and "last stage" involve defeating [[Bowser]] with combos and chains before the stack reaches the very top. While the "special stage" is only a bonus stage to test the players' skills, the "last stage" can be repeated if they lose.
<h5>VS</h5>
{{br|left}}
 
===Puzzle===
In the puzzle mode, players are given a number of panels on the screen, and they must clear all of them with only a limited number of switches by the cursor. Players play ten rounds with up to six different characters. Also, at the end of each round, players are given a password, which they can use to come back to their game at a later time. There is no time limit for this game mode. There are also some even more difficult puzzles that players can play with if they have the proper password.
 
===VS.===
[[File:TA Shock Panel.png|thumb]]
Single player VS. is a game where players can battle the computer in a fight to free the players' allies from a spell cast by [[Kamek]]. One by one, the players and [[Yoshi]] must break the spell over each of their allies by battling and defeating them. The key to doing that is to dump [[garbage block]]s, which resemble the ceiling from ''[[Wario's Woods (Super Nintendo Entertainment System)|Wario's Woods]]'', on their stack. There are special panels called [[Shock Panel]]s. When three or more of these align, this creates a [[Shock Block]], a special garbage block, which makes clearing garbage blocks more difficult. Each battle gets successively more difficult, and as the players progress and free their allies, they can use them in battle as well.
 
Inside Mt. Wickedness, the players will face off against [[Hookbill the Koopa]] and [[Naval Piranha]] on all the skill levels. On the "Normal" and "Hard" skill levels, Kamek will be the next opponent. And on the "Hard" skill level, the players will face Bowser as the final opponent.
 
There is also a "Super Hard" skill level, which will heavily test the players' skills. All opponents fought on the "Hard" skill level will be in this skill level.

==Characters==
==Characters==
While [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach]], and [[Toad]] do not make a direct appearance in this game, [[Yoshi]] fights against Bowser and rescues his friends in the game's single-player versus mode, and he explains the gameplay to the player in the tutorials. A multitude of other characters from ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' appear in the game as well, some as allies and some as enemies. The following characters are:
While [[Mario]] does not make a direct appearance in this game, [[Yoshi]] plays a starring role as an ally and a tutor to teach you the game. A multitude of other characters from the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] appear in the game as well, some as allies and some as enemies. Allies include [[Yoshi]], [[Lakitu]], [[Shy Guy]] and [[Froggy]] Enemies include [[Bowser]] and [[Kamek Koopa]].
 
===Pals===
*[[Yoshi]]
*[[Lakitu]]
*[[Poochy]]
*[[Froggy]]
*[[Gargantua Blargg]]
*[[Raphael the Raven|Raphael The Raven]]
The following characters can only be used in the VS game modes. There is an exception in the Game Boy version of the Puzzle game mode.
*[[Bumpty]] (SNES version only)
*[[Flutter|Flying Wiggler]]
*[[Lunge Fish]]
 
===Rivals===
*[[Hookbill the Koopa|Hookbill The Koopa]]
*[[Naval Piranha]]
*[[Kamek]]
*[[Bowser]]
Note: All rival characters can only be used in the 2P Mode. There is an exception in the Game Boy version of the Puzzle game mode, however.
 
==Secrets==
Below are a list of secrets that can be found. None of them stay unlocked, however.
===SNES===
#Upon turning on the SNES, the player has to press the following buttons; {{button|snes|B}}, {{button|snes|A}}, {{button|L}}, {{button|L}}. If done correctly, the player will hear a chime. When the player does a one-player game mode, the stack will not stop, regardless of if the player does a combo or chain.
#In the 1P VS mode, the player can play the "Super Hard" skill level by pressing D-Pad Up, {{button|L}}, and {{button|snes|A}} at the same time while the "Hard" skill level is selected. If done correctly, the lower background will turn dark red. The dark red background is a sign that the player is playing on the "Super Hard" skill level.
#Players can use the rival characters in the 2P game modes by doing the following; both players must hold the {{button|L}} and {{button|R}} buttons at the same time while on the character select screen. If done right, the "? panels" will change into the rival characters.
 
===Super Game Boy===
[[File:TASGB.PNG|thumb|Default border.]]
When the Game Boy version is played on a [[Super Game Boy]], certain button codes, if "1P" is selected at the title screen, trigger six secret borders, which are based on the background designs used for Yoshi's and his pals' stages in the SNES version. The borders and their corresponding codes are as follows:
{|class="wikitable"
!
!{{button|Paddown}}
!{{button|Padleft}}
!{{button|Padup}}
|-
!{{button|snes|A}}
|[[File:TetrisAttack-Border1.png|256px]]<br>Yoshi stage border
|[[File:TetrisAttack-Border2.png|256px]]<br>Gargantua Blargg stage border
|[[File:TetrisAttack-Border3.png|256px]]<br>Poochy stage border
|-
!{{button|snes|start}}
|[[File:TetrisAttack-Border4.png|256px]]<br>Froggy stage border
|[[File:TetrisAttack-Border5.png|256px]]<br>Lakitu stage border
|[[File:TetrisAttack-Border6.png|256px]]<br>Raphael The Raven stage border
|}
 
The player can return to the title screen at any time to choose another border. Pressing just {{button|snes|start}} on the title screen will make the border the default star border again, while pressing the {{button|snes|A}} button will keep the current border.
 
==Options==
The SNES version of the game does feature an "Options" menu, which enables the player to change the language settings, listen to sound effects and background music, and even view data about the characters.
 
There is also a "CPU Switch" feature, in which player 1 and/or player 2 will be controlled by a CPU player. However, this feature cannot be used to view game endings in the single player game modes; if attempted, the player will get a message stating that the CPU Switch must be turned off to view the ending.

Originally, ''Tetris Attack'' was '''''Panel de Pon''''', released for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super Famicom]] on October 27, 1995, starring a young fairy known as Lip. However, the game did not initially release in other countries as-is. For the international releases, [[Nintendo]] changed all the characters to ''[[Yoshi (franchise)|Yoshi]]'' [[List of characters|characters]] and [[List of enemies|enemies]] and renamed it.<ref>{{cite|url=themushroomkingdom.net/ta_pdp.shtml|title=Panel de Pon and Tetris Attack Comparison|publisher=The Mushroom Kingdom|accessdate=June 3, 2024|language=en}}</ref>

====Graphics====
*The title sequences are completely different. ''Panel de Pon'' has Lip hanging from a dandelion over a field of pink and orange flowers. ''Tetris Attack'' has Yoshi sitting on a large flower holding an eggshell with [[panel]]s in it surrounded by Little Yoshis on smaller flowers, while the background is a jungle area with blue hills similar to the ones seen on the title screen of ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''.
*On the main menu in ''Panel de Pon'', Lip is shown sitting on a flower. In ''Tetris Attack'', Yoshi is instead sitting in a floating eggshell, along with Little Yoshi.
*In ''Panel de Pon'', garbage blocks have a different design for each character. In ''Tetris Attack'', all garbage blocks look the same aside from their color; the first player's blocks are blue, while the second player's are red.
*In the character selection screen for 2-player mode, the characters' names shown beneath their icons in ''Panel de Pon'' were removed in ''Tetris Attack'' due to some of the replacement characters' names being too long to fit there.
*Lip's flower-themed stage was completely redesigned for Yoshi, now taking place on [[Yoshi's Island (location)|Yoshi's Island]]. Only the tree that serves as the border for the playing field was left intact, though the leaves are a lighter shade of green and the flowers were removed.
*In Stage Clear, Bowser replaces Sanatos for the "special stage" and "last stage".
*Stage 4 of VS. Mode was changed from a jewel-themed stage (for Ruby) to a flower themed-one (for Flying Wiggler) with graphics resembling tiles seen in certain levels from ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', such as [[Visit Koopa and Para-Koopa]].
*Stages 9, 10, and 11 have unique graphics in ''Panel de Pon''. In ''Tetris Attack'', all three stages use the same background as the cutscenes in Mt. Wickedness.
*Bowser's stage (Stage 12) is an altered version of the Dragon's stage (Stage 10) in ''Panel de Pon'', primarily altering the stone face in the middle to resemble Bowser instead of a dragon.
*The [[Game Over]] screens in VS. mode are entirely different. ''Panel de Pon'' shows Lip sulking on a plain blue background next to an image of the opponent she lost to, with the words "GAME OVER" in a plain red font inside a speech bubble. ''Tetris Attack'' has Yoshi lying dazed on the floor in front of a gradient blue background with the words "GAME OVER" displayed above him in a much larger and more colorful and stylized font.
 
====Audio====
*All voice clips were changed to accommodate the character replacements.
*''Tetris Attack'' replaces the title theme from ''Panel de Pon'' with an arrangement of the title theme from ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''.
*Yoshi's stage theme is an arrangement of the intro story theme from ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', replacing Lip's theme. Lip's theme still plays during the game's tutorials.
*''Tetris Attack'' has victory and loss themes in VS. mode and 2-player mode, while in ''Panel de Pon'', the stage's "panic" theme continues to play even after the match ends. 2-player matches and losses in VS. mode play the same theme that plays at the end of stages in other modes, while victories in VS. mode use a completely new theme.
*''Panel de Pon'' has three Game Over themes, which are music box renditions of Lip's, Windy's, and Elias' themes (the tutorial theme, Lakitu's theme, and Froggy's theme in ''Tetris Attack''). ''Tetris Attack'' replaces all of them with a music box rendition of Yoshi's theme.
*Kamek's stage (Stage 11) uses the background music from the Phoenix and Dragon stages, instead of Sanatos' background music, which was moved to Bowser's stage (Stage 12).
*Corderia's background music is not used by any of the playable characters in ''Tetris Attack'', but it does play in the cutscene before the player faces Bowser in VS. mode. This change consequently results in Corderia's "panic" background music to go unused, and was removed altogether.
 
====Miscellaneous====
*''Tetris Attack'' added a password system for VS. mode.
*The options menu in ''Tetris Attack'' is not selectable through normal means in ''Panel de Pon'', but can be accessed via code devices or hacking.<ref>TCRF. [[tcrf:Tetris_Attack_(SNES)/Regional_Differences#Options_Menu|Tetris Attack (SNES)]]. ''The Cutting Room Floor''. Retrieved May 3, 2023.</ref>
*After seeing the endings in ''Panel de Pon'', players have to reset the game to return to the title screen. In ''Tetris Attack'', players are taken back to the title screen after the endings are finished.
 
===References in ''Super Mario''-related games===
In the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], [[Lip's Stick]], an item used by Lip, is an item throughout the series. [[Kirby]]'s [[Kirby#Stone|Stone]] move can turn him into many objects, including a garbage block from ''Panel de Pon''. ''Panel de Pon'' music also appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. The fairy Lip herself appears as an important character in ''[[Captain Rainbow]]''. She also appears as a spirit and [[Mii Swordfighter]] costume in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''.

==Trivia==
*In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', there is an error when obtaining the Lip's Stick trophy; it unlocks ''Tetris Attack'' in the Chronicle. However, Lip, for whom the weapon is named, does not appear in the game. In the Japanese version, it says ''Panel de Pon'' which is where it's from.
**Similarly, this error would continue with the PAL release of ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' for the Lip's Stick trophy.
*A [[minigame]] from ''[[Mario Party 6]]'' and ''[[Mario Party DS]]'', called [[Block Star (Mario Party series)|Block Star]], resembles the stack of blocks but plays differently.
*In the years following ''Tetris Attack''{{'}}s release, {{wp|Henk Rogers}} of {{wp|The Tetris Company}} has stated that he regrets granting Nintendo permission to use the term "Tetris" in the game's title.<ref name="Interview with Alexey Pajitnov and Henk Rogers on Tetris">{{cite|date=June 8, 2009|author=Perlee, Ben|url=www.destructoid.com/interview-with-alexey-pajitnov-and-henk-rogers-on-tetris/|title=Interview with Alexey Pajitnov and Henk Rogers on Tetris|publisher=Destructoid|accessdate=June 3, 2024}}</ref>
